New way to qualify for the Stage tournaments 2008-05-02
Starting with the 3rd stage (April, May, June), each venue will hold its VENUE tournament, following the week of the last District Tournament (3rd week of July), which will be played by the 10 best stage scorers of that venue. If one of those players already won his or her free pass, the next in line will get to play.
Guideline modification 2008-05-02
Following the many comments received concerning the guideline where it is forbidden for the owners to play in their own venue, the League’s management took the decision to leave it at the discretion of each owner to play or not and to decide if in fact, playing in their own venue is more of an advantage or an inconvenience.

Tournament - Important: I.D. card mandatory
Type: Shoot-Out
Note: A « Shoot-Out » tournament is a special multi-table tournament. Usually, when you play in a multi-table tournament, the players move from table to table to balance the number of players at each table. In the end, the last ten players end up together at the final table.
In a Shoot-Out tournament, there is no balancing. You stay at your table until only one player remains. If you win this table, you move to the next table and start the process all over again, against players who have each won at their own table. But in this "Stage Tournament II - 2008", the last player standing at his or her own table wins a trip to Las Vegas and moves on to compete at the 2008 Quebec Poker Championship. Second place will win a Hold’em table.
